Panathinaikos Team News
After big drama and overtime on Wednesday night, Panathinaikos found a way to beat Virtus. At the end of the fourth quarter, Paris Lee managed to score a basket for overtime, where Derrick Williams hit crucial three-point shot.
Head coach Dejan Radonjic is under enormous pressure and there is simply no room for failure. Panathinaikos were humiliated in Istanbul last week and the only way to redeem themselves is to make it two wins in the Euroleague double week. They have already reached one and now another test awaits them. Panathinaikos has a lot of defensive problems so far and this is something that will need to be fix in coming period.
Key thing in this game will be not to underestimate Asvel. Panathinaikos achieved all three wins in the Euroleague through hard work and there should be no relaxation at any moment. Opponent will be able to vaporize them physically, which means that shooting from distance will be very important.
Asvel Team News
Asvel are in a negative streak of three consecutive defeats in the Euroleague. It is particularly problematic that they lost to opponents of similar quality. They were defeated by Zalgiris and Bayern at home, while Red Star beat them in Belgrade.
In duels against Bayern and Red Star, identical things happened to Asvel. They had a very weak start to the game where they allowed the opponent to go to a big difference. After that, they managed to come back, but both times they were defeated. Their head coach T.J. Parker also spoke about this. He pointed out that such things cannot be allowed at this level of basketball.
Given that they started previous two game very badly, we should expect Asvel to be extremely engaged this time from the very beginning. Another defeat would bring additional unrest within the team, so focus and motivation will certainly be at an extra level.
H2H
This will be seventh game between Panathinaikos and Asvel so far. Total score is 3-3. Last season, the visiting team won both matches.
Injuries

Panathinaikos vs. Asvel Prediction
After three defeats like this, we should expect a reaction from Asvel. Panathinaikos have a shortened rotation and they spent a lot of energy on Wednesday against Virtus. There was an emotional drain and it won’t be easy for them to play at their maximum, which is necessary to beat anyone in the Euroleague at this moment. That is why we expect Asvel to cover the handicap in this game on Friday.
